Wheel colour comparison

[PerryGunn]

As people keep asking about changing wheel colour, this might be useful to get an idea of how darker wheels will affect the look of a car.

I created these comparison images for Lux - that's why it's his car - but he's happy for me to post them for all to see...

First pictures in each set are the OEM wheels and the rest get progressively darker - the inner barrel has been left as OEM silver to provide contrast.

4th or 5th pic are my favourite at the mo, but I've got a thing for black wheels also!

I've added numbers so that it's easier to refer to them if people want to voice an opinion

That's quite an eye opener, i like dark wheels but this shows the detail just disappear by the time it get close to black!

Thanks for posting

Apols for resurrecting an old post, but Perry Gunn, would you say No6 is "Shadow Chrome?"

I think you'd have to look at each refurbishment companies wheel samples as different companies may use the 'same' name for a finish but their take on that colour may be lighter/darker than a competitor. The images were just to give people an idea about how light/dark they may want to go
